Dead By Daylight: Best Builds For The Good Guy (Chucky)

With a flair for the dramatic and a wit as deadly as his knives, Chucky – the serial killer doll from the comedy horror franchise Child’s Play – arrives in Dead by Daylight with ferocious speed and unnerving stealth. Capable of hiding himself from Survivors with his Hidey-Ho ability, Chucky can launch ferocious stealth attacks, rushing forward with his Slice & Dice to quickly close gaps and inflict damage.

To fully make the most of Chucky’s powers in Dead by Daylight, players must adapt quickly to Survivors and play around loops carefully. These select perks and add-ons can vastly improve Killers’ chances of success, featuring builds with both teachable and non-teachable perks for players with a variety of access to other DLC Killers.

Updated October 25, 2024 by Lewis Smyth: Chucky has received some significant changes since the deadly doll first arrived in Dead by Daylight nearly a year ago, though he remains a top-tier Killer. This updated guide features tweaked builds and a new best add-on tier list.

The Good Guy: Best Beginner Build (2024)

For players who only have access to Chucky’s perks, this impactful build makes use of two Good Guy perks. This build focuses on tracking Survivors and Exposing them throughout the game with Bitter Murmur and Friends ‘till the End. Meanwhile, Batteries Included and Hex: No One Escapes Death work in tandem to increase The Killer’s speed in the endgame and leave all Survivors vulnerable to an instant down.

Batteries Included (The Good Guy) – Gain a 5% Haste bonus when within 12 meters of a completed generator and for five seconds after leaving it.
Friends ‘till the End (The Good Guy) – After hooking a Survivor that is not the Obsession, the Obsession becomes Exposed for 20 seconds and reveals their aura for 10 seconds. After hooking the Obsession, another random Survivor screams, revealing their position, and becomes the Obsession.
Hex: No One Escapes Death (General Perk) – After the final generator is completed, all Survivors suffer from the Exposed status ailment and you gain a 4% Haste effect until the Hex Totem is cleansed.
Bitter Murmur (General Perk) – Each time a generator is completed, the auras of Survivors within 16 meters of that generator are revealed for 5 seconds. Once the last generator is complete, all Survivors’ auras are revealed for 10 seconds.

The Good Guy: Best Build (2024)

A short, slow-moving Killer like Chucky often needs information on what is directly around him. To this end, arguably the best build to run on The Good Guy in Dead by Daylight includes Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance and Pop Goes the Weasel to decimate generator progress and force Survivors from them. Furthermore, the impressive strength of Corrupt Intervention stalls generators and draws Survivors near in the early game while Nowhere to Hide allows him to find those hiding nearby.

Corrupt Intervention (The Plague) – At the start of the trial, the 3 generators furthest from the killer's starting location are blocked for 120 seconds or until the first survivor is downed.
Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance (The Artist) – The Killer starts with four tokens. For each different Survivor hooked on a white Scourge Hook, lose one token and explode the generator with the most progress, causing it to lose 25% of progress.
Nowhere to Hide (The Knight) – Kicking a generator will reveal the aura of all Survivors within 24 meters for 5 seconds.
Pop Goes the Weasel (The Clown) – For 45 seconds after hooking a Survivor, damaging a generator will remove 20% of its current progress.

The Good Guy: Best Add-Ons Tier List

Tier		Add-On Description	Add-On Comments
S	Rat Poison	Auras of Survivors are revealed for 5 seconds while performing a Slice & Dice	Allows you to out-mindgame Survivors at most loops by reading their movements constantly
S	Power Drill	A successful Slice & Dice reduces Hidey-Ho Mode cooldown by 10%	Reduced power cooldown gives you the opportunity to land quicker follow-up attacks
A	Jump Rope	Increases Slice & Dice duration by 8%	Gives you 8% extra range on Slice & Dice attacks, helping you hit distant Survivors
	Automatic Screwdriver	Missed Slice & Dice attacks reduces Hidey-Ho Mode cooldown by 8%	Like the Power Drill, getting back into Hidey-Ho Mode a little sooner can make a big difference
	Electric Carving Knife	Decreases Slice & Dice miss cooldown by 5%	Good for beginners, this add-on makes missing your attacks more forgiving, like The Demogorgon's Mew's Guts add-on
	Portable TV	Increases Slice & Dice duration by 70% once the exit gates are powered	An exceptional endgame add-on that allows you to cover huge distances in Slice & Dice once all generators are complete
	Yardstick	Scampers reveal nearby Survivor auras for 3 seconds	Similar to the Rat Poison, the Yardstick lets you track Survivors as you Slice & Dice, better enabling you to land special attacks
B	Straight Razor	Slice & Dice attacks inflict Mangled and Hemorrhage for 80 seconds	Like Sloppy Butcher, this add-on can slow down healing and enable health state pressure
	Hair Spray & Candle	Basic attacks remove 20% Hidey-Ho Mode charge	Can better enable double-tapping Survivors by allowing you more time to land a basic attack followed by a Slice & Dice
	Iridescent Amulet	Increases Hidey-Ho duration by 50%. Basic attacks immediately end Hidey-Ho Mode	Gives you more purchase to sneak up on Survivors in Hidey-Ho Mode from a greater distance before you have to reveal yourself. This also helps in mindgaming Survivors at loops as you hide your Red Stain longer
	Strobing Light	Decreases your Terror Radius by 8 meters while Hidey-Ho is in cooldown	Works well in tandem with perks like The Doctor's Monitor and Abuse to get the jump on Survivors
C	Hard Hat	Performing a Scamper under a pallet immediately breaks it	Can be helpful in chase by saving time breaking pallets, though Scampering under pallets isn't always the best play
	Good Guy Box	Decreases Slice & Dice hit cooldown by 7%	An okay effect, but barely noticeable
	Running Shoes	Gain 2% movement speed for 5 seconds after a Scamper	Similar to The Xenomorph's haste add-on, the Running Shoes provide a very mild effect
	Pile of Nails	Manually ending Hidey-Ho Mode will retain your Undetectable effect for 3 seconds	Not bad, and can catch Survivors off-guard, but manually ending Hidey-Ho Mode is something you'll rarely want to do
D	Plastic Bag	Survivors become Exhausted for 15 seconds after walking through an illusory Footfall	Difficult to ascertain the value of, as the effect is very inconsistent
	Tiny Scalpel	Blood pools are more visible in Hidey-Ho Mode	A perfectly fine tracking effect, but not incredibly valuable
	Doll Eyes	Nearby windows and downed pallets are revealed while in Hidey-Ho Mode	Not particularly useful in a typical game unless you're unfamiliar with typical map and tile layouts
F	Silk Pillow	Decreases your Terror Radius by 8 meters, but increases Slice & Dice charge time by 50%	Unless you are actively pursuing a small Terror Radius build on Chucky, the Silk Pillow's costly downside is rarely worth the tradeoff
F	Mirror Shards	You can see illusory Footfalls around Survivors	As you can also hear nearby illusory Footfalls, this add-on can actually make tracking Survivors through walls harder in Hidey-Ho Mode
